Would you like to stroll among temples, Roman villas and painted tombs from the comfort of your home? With its Multimedia and Immersive Routes, the Campania Region has brought a selection of cultural heritage sites online, in 3D and immersive reality. We really like it as a tool for preparing a visit, for school or simply for browsing out of curiosity.
The virtual scenes reconstruct entire sites; alongside them there is a rich catalogue of 3D objects (finds, statues, furnishings). Here are all the available scenes, with links to our place pages when the place is featured on Turismo Campano.
